29 Things: Week 13

What's new?  I still haven't really been focusing on things, and especially due to the holidays, I just sort of threw my hands up this week! I'll be lucky if I made progress on anything!

1. Work on my poetry (Poetry Journal) - year round

TINYPROGRESS - Drafted another poem.  I should really stop a moment and work on editing some of these.

2. Lose weight - year long

No Progress

3. Learn rudimentary Spanish - year long

No progress.

4. Make a film of some kind each month (outside of work) - year long

No progress.

29 Thingst: Week 12

Still been slacking off.  Trying to figure out how to be more productive at home after work!  Where does the time go in the evening?  Also, trying to cut back majorly on my binge watching of tv.

1. Work on my poetry (Poetry Journal) - year round

TINYPROGRESS - Drafted several new poems

2. Lose weight - year long

No Progress

3. Learn rudimentary Spanish - year long

No progress.  I have an idea for what I want to do, I just keep forgetting to make time for this!

29 Things: Week 9

I've been slowing down on my focus on my goals.  Got to get it together.  Keep my eye on the prize--- self-actualization!

1. Work on my poetry (Poetry Journal) - year round

29 Things: Week 6

I was a bit tired this week.  Not super sure why. But I've not had the psychic energy that I've wanted when working on writing or Tarot much this past week.  Hopefully I can be more consistent this week. I've really got to start working on looking for a dentist though!  I've been enjoying making progress on the easier things, and not working so much on the more difficult and un-fun goals.

1. Work on my poetry (Poetry Journal) - year round

TINYPROGRESS - Switching my work to every two days has helped. Of course my brain wants to write poetry on the 'off' days rather than on the days I've chosen!  I've had a few bouts of inspiration as well.  I also want to work on finding a way to have someone else review my work and give me some advice for improving.

2. Lose weight - year long

PROGRESS - I technically weighed 4 lbs less last time I checked.  Also I went for a short run for the first time in a while, and I've been going to Zumba! I also tried an easy yoga class; I'm curious to try 'Cize' which is a new fitness class, I think based off of hip hop dancing?

29 Things: Week 5

And just like that we are almost at the end of the month. I feel like I have been working pretty hard and been rather productive!  It helps that I have moved to a new office, and the hustle and bustle has helped me to stay focused on getting things done--- and there is lots to do because there are lot of changes and new things happening.  Being productive makes me feel really good about myself, go figure!

I have also started using Habitica to help motivate me and keep me oriented on my goals.  I am also try to break some bad habits and start new ones.  The prospect of having to log in and subtract points for drinking soda has kept me from indulging.  This week I've started to make a point to bring my lunch to work and give myself the chance to hit the (+) button!  I still need to work on going to bed on time (and therefore getting up on time) and exercising. I even have a 'No Netflix' button that I get to hit . . . sometimes, thanks Star Trek Voyager.

How am I doing with everything else?

29 Things Before 30

I'm going be 30 soon!  It's scary and exciting!  It's motivating to get some sh!t done before then!

I've been fine tuning these for over a week and now I'm going to force myself to stop and post them or I will never get on with it.
